Description
Our Tafraout wild palm leaf bag is made from wild palm leaf and genuine leather and finished by skilled Moroccan hands, with braided leather handles, a small metal closure and a shoulder strap.
Tafraout shares the Ibiza shape but fastens with a small metal closure. Braided leather handles and a shoulder strap give you two ways to carry it, in a rustic wild palm leaf weave.

What makes this Tafraout wild palm leaf bag special
It is woven from wild palm leaf, a looser and more rustic weave than our classic doum pieces, so every item shows its own texture. Braided leather handles are comfortable in the hand and add texture to the design.
A detachable strap lets you switch between carrying it by hand and wearing it on the shoulder.
Handwoven in Morocco from wild palm leaf and genuine leather
Green Doum is a family craft business created in 1962 by Moroccan craftsman Lhaj Mohamed, who started in a small store in the medina. Today the family still makes baskets and bags from natural raw materials, and this piece is part of that story. You can read more on our About us page.
Wild palm leaf is another traditional material of Moroccan basketry. Woven loosely, it gives a textured, rustic surface that is different on every piece, with leather added where the piece is handled.
Weaving baskets from plant fibres is one of the oldest crafts in the world and is found in many cultures; for a general overview, see this page on basket weaving.
The leather is genuine leather: it softens and darkens naturally with use, so your piece gains character over time.
Size and fit
The Tafraout wild palm leaf bag measures 23 × 16 × 34 cm (length × width × height). That makes it a practical everyday size.
How to use your Tafraout wild palm leaf bag
The Tafraout wild palm leaf bag suits relaxed, natural looks: holidays, beach towns and weekend markets. The rustic texture works well with linen and cotton in neutral colors.
Use this piece for shopping, picnics or travel days. The looser wild-palm weave gives it a casual character that goes with sandals and summer clothes.
How to care for it
Keep your Tafraout wild palm leaf bag dry and store it somewhere with air around it. Wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid prolonged moisture and direct heat. The leather softens and darkens naturally with use.
